Touch device and touch display panel

Abstract

A touch device includes a patterned sensing electrode structure, an insulating layer and a patterned common electrode layer. The patterned sensing electrode structure is disposed on a surface of a substrate, defining a plurality of displaying regions and a light-shielding region. The patterned sensing electrode structure corresponds to the light-shielding region, and exposes the displaying regions. The insulating layer covers the patterned sensing electrode structure. The patterned common electrode layer is disposed on the insulating layer, and the patterned common electrode layer includes a plurality of electrode portions corresponding to the displaying regions and a plurality of connecting portions disposed between the adjacent electrode portions and electrically connected to the electrode portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a touch device and a touch display panel.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]LCD (liquid crystal display) is one type of flat display, popular on the market for its characteristics of power saving, thinness, and light weight. In any kind of electronic device that includes an LCD, such as a media player, mobile phone or personal digital assistant (PDA), a touch input function of the LCD is becoming more popular, with the result that touch panels are now in widespread use.[0005]Conventional touch display panels are mainly classified into resistance-type touch display panels and capacitor-type touch display panels. The resistance-type touch display panel tracks the contact position through a voltage difference or a voltage variation. The capacitor-type touch display panel usually includes sensing capacitors, and tracks the contact position through the capacitance variation of the sen...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide a touch device and a touch display panel so as to reduce a coupling capacitance between a sensing electrode and a common electrode to increase intensity of a sensing signal.

[0009]The present invention provides the patterned sensing electrode structure corresponding to the light-shielding region combined with the electrode portions of the patterned common electrode layer, and reduces the area of the connecting portions, so that the overlap between the patterned sensing electrode structure and the patterned common electrode layer can be reduced. The coupling capacitance between the patterned sensing electrode structure and the patterned common electrode layer can therefore be reduced, and the intensity of the sensing signal sensed from the patterned sensing electrode structure can be increased accordingly.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the sensing pads are affected by the coupling capacitor when a finger touches the conventional touch display panel, and a problem of insufficient intensity of the sensing signal occurs.
